“Everything is just a little different,” he says, as are rashers and black pudding for an Irish breakfast.

Knitwear includes Aran sweaters and booties. Then there are dolls, stepdancing shoes, tell-tale teapots shaped like pubs, CDs, penny whistles, bodhrans and slippers that look like sheep. Crystal and china also are on display.

The jewelry case contains the Claddagh ring, with a crowned heart held by two hands symbolizing love, loyalty and friendship.

Guinness glasses and fridge magnets abound. For the real thing, you need only jig over to their pub.

“After you shop, you can go next door for a pint,” McCormack suggests.

Bernadette Ryan’s Grafton Gifts & Baskets is so cozy, you’d never suspect it was formerly a parking garage.

The fireplace in the window is actually a prop from “The Beauty Queen of Leenane.” Next week, it returns to the shop’s back room, where customers relax with tea.

Black currant jams and barmbrack bread line the shelves. Shamrock shortbreads also get tucked into gift baskets and delivered to some of the best hotels in town, not to mention the stepdancers recently performing on “The Rosie O’Donnell Show.”

Coats of arms appear on coasters; delicate Irish lace in shamrock patterns embellishes linens and christening dresses. There are also tweed caps and walking sticks.

“The nice thing,” Ryan says about parade day, “is that people come back with their children.”

The shop, open Monday through Saturday, on 51st street between Third and Lexington avenues (although the address is officially listed as 830 Third Ave.). Order by Web at http://www.irishgraftonshop.com, or call (212) 759-2850.
